Methods: From the archive of the Institute of Pathology in Bayreuth, we collected a consecutive series of 1058 gastric adenomas diagnosed between 1987 and 2017. Clinicopathological parameters retrieved from diagnostic reports included adenoma type and localization, associated mucosal changes in antrum and corpus (i.e., type of gastritis, the extent of intestinal metaplasia and atrophy), gender, date of birth, and date of diagnosis. Results: Intestinal-type adenoma was the most frequent adenoma (89.1%), followed by foveolar-type adenoma (4.3%), pyloric gland adenoma (3.4%), adenomas associated with hereditary tumor syndromes (2.8%), and oxyntic gland adenoma (0.4%). Adenomas were found in the background of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) gastritis in 23.9%, Ex-H. pylori gastritis in 36.0%, autoimmune gastritis in 24.8%, chemical reactive gastritis in 7.4%, and others in 0.1%. More than 70% of patients with gastric adenomas had low-risk stages in OLGA and OLGIM. Conclusions: We found a higher frequency of foveolar-type adenoma than anticipated from the literature. It needs to be questioned whether OLGA\/OLGIM staging can be applied to all patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms9010108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,5]],"date-time":"2021-01-05T10:35:12Z","timestamp":1609842912000},"page":"108","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Helicobacter Infection and Gastric Adenoma"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0458-7075","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simone","family":"Bertz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathology, Universit\u00e4tsklinikum Erlangen, Krankenhausstr. 8-10, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2105-6305","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miriam","family":"Angeloni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathology, Universit\u00e4tsklinikum Erlangen, Krankenhausstr. 8-10, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Drgac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathology, Klinikum Bayreuth, Preuschwitzerstr. 101, 95445 Bayreuth, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"Falkeis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathology, Klinikum Bayreuth, Preuschwitzerstr. 101, 95445 Bayreuth, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8631-2600","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Corinna","family":"Lang-Schwarz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathology, Klinikum Bayreuth, Preuschwitzerstr. 101, 95445 Bayreuth, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William","family":"Sterlacci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathology, Universit\u00e4tsklinikum Erlangen, Krankenhausstr. 8-10, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Pathology, Klinikum Bayreuth, Preuschwitzerstr. 101, 95445 Bayreuth, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lothar","family":"Veits","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathology, Klinikum Bayreuth, Preuschwitzerstr. 101, 95445 Bayreuth, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arndt","family":"Hartmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathology, Universit\u00e4tsklinikum Erlangen, Krankenhausstr. 8-10, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Vieth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Pathology, Universit\u00e4tsklinikum Erlangen, Krankenhausstr. 8-10, 91054 Erlangen, Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Pathology, Klinikum Bayreuth, Preuschwitzerstr. 101, 95445 Bayreuth, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"WHO Classification of Tumours Editorial Board (2019).
